    The Department of Management at the University of Kentucky is looking for bright, inquisitive women and men to join our PhD Program in Fall 2017. 

    We have a highly collaborative faculty, including our OMT-focused faculty -- Steve Borgatti, Dan Brass, Joe Labianca, and Dan Halgin.  Our faculty's OT research interests include organizational design (particularly network influences on design), information flows through networks, network emergence, political power and influence, post-merger integration, negative ties, identity, and network contagion/diffusion.

    The department is also home to the LINKS Center, which brings together faculty and students with a shared interest in social network analysis. More information about the LINKS Center can be found at www.linkscenter.org.

    Our doctoral students receive a stipend (currently approx. $20K), which goes a long way given the relatively cheap cost of living in picturesque Lexington, Kentucky, as well as a full tuition waiver. We also provide generous resources for regular attendance at academic conferences. Students in our doctoral program typically do not teach until their third year and then only once per academic year in order to gain marketable teaching experience while focusing on coursework and research.

    The deadline for application submission for the Fall 2017 semester is February 1, 2017.
